  • . I  have to get away from thinking that LIB 105 is “just a one credit requirement that no one wants to take.” Instead, as Alex suggested some time ago, I need to make it alive and engaging and what I really want it to be.

      Bravo Anne!! share your passion! think about stuff from their perspective and what would make your content relevant, applicable to their real lives. how will you know if you are doing it right? will they tell their friends about it? will they continue to do it/use it after the course? would they spend their own money to do it/use it?
  • to answer the question of who I am as an educator and a learner, I am both simultaneously
  • I think what I learned in this module is that my class will only be as engaging as I make i

  • As interesting as this article was, I would have like to have read it prior to reading the Shea, et al. article which used Garrison’s material. I think that it would have been more relavent then.
  • The cool thing is that they seemed like second nature after reading the manual, listening to the model course instructors and most importantly paying close attention to how Alex has constucted, guided and facilitated our course. I learn best by example and this has been an extraordinary model for me to follow.

  • Teacher presence, which is how you speak and relate to your students, must not be confused with teaching presence, which is the way a course is structured, activities are designed and feedback is given.

      kristina: are you missing the even bigger point here that "teaching presence" is not the exclusive domain of the one in the "role" of "teacher?" Than "teaching presence" in an effectively designed online learning environment is equally expressed, cultivated and facilitated from those in the "role" of "student." can you demonstrate to me that you understand this key concept?
  • One of the resources I came across identified audio feedback to be associated retention of content and students associate it with the perception that the instructor cared more about them.

      do you have a citation for this? would love to see and hear more about this from you or anyone else in the class.

  • By pushing myself to interact better I can learn to teach interaction to my students.
  • I have learned that interaction is essential to teaching and learnng.  Learning is a social activity.  I feel I have been brave enough to include a discussion forum in each module of my course.  It was easy really to do.  the questions I have posed are big questions-they are not lower level thinking questions.  in order to elicit the rich content from my students in the discussion i need better instructions and to create that rubric-i will do.

  • can’t believe how far I’ve come.  So, I guess that’s the most suprising thing that i have learned.  I can do this tech. stuff.  well, another thing that strikes me as suprising is that this course has helped me to become a better f2f teacher.  i can no longer hide behind my fear for interaction in the f2f class.
